we don t live here anymore
With a screenplay that incorporates “We Don’t Live Here Anymore” and “Adultery,” two short stories by Andre Dubus (IN THE BEDROOM), John Curran’s film appears deceptively simple. [1]
“We Don’t Live Here Anymore,” based on two Andre Dubus stories about adultery in changing times, lacks the necessary smolder. [2]
The website for We Don’t Live Here Anymore is the online flash destination for everything related to the Warner Independent feature film starring Mark Ruffalo, Laura Dern, Peter Krause and Naomi Watts. [3]
We Don’t Live Here Anymore is a 2004 film directed by John Curran. [4]
I was assigned “We Don’t Live Here Anymore” and “Adultery”, two of the three novellas in this collection, to read in my college novel class. [5]
Based on two works by Andre Dubus, WE DON’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE is a sexy and provocative drama about married life and its discontents. [6]
Financial struggle and domestic boredom has drained the passion from Jack and Terry’s marriage, while Hank’s numerous infidelities and self-absorption has prompted Edith to find both comfort and sexual fulfillment with Jack. [1]
The Linden household is chaotic and cluttered; Jack’s wife Terry (LAURA DERN) is a headstrong woman but a distracted homemaker, overwhelmed by the never-ending cycle of chores and bills in the struggle to keep up a house with two young children. [3]
Jack Linden (Mark Ruffalo) is married to Terry (Laura Dern) and they have two small children, a boy and a girl. [7]
Jack Linden (Mark Ruffalo) and Hank Evans (Peter Krause) are best friends who both teach at the same university in a small New England town. [1]
On the surface, things are good between Hank and Edith; they have a bright little girl, and Edith is a competent mother and domestic manager. [2]
Hank’s Edith (NAOMI WATTS), on the other hand, keeps an immaculate home - quiet and tidy — free of distractions for her husband, a writer with a bad case of writer’s bloc, and their solemn daughter. [3]
Mark Ruffalo, Laura Dern, Peter Krause and Naomi Watts play the interlocked foursome, pushing their characters into uncharted realms of anger, confrontation and lust - and making decisions that may or may not let love slip away. [1]
Both fathers of young children, the men’s home lives, however, are markedly different. [3]
The three long short stories/short novels in this collection were not originally published together but share characters and the theme of the difficulty and complexity of marriage. [5]
